COLORIZING nmh
--------------
I've been using nmh on Linux for a few years now, it is a powerful mail
handling system maintained by a team of volunteers. The latest version can
be found at: http://www.mhost.com/nmh/
A few months ago I discovered grc, a very cool "generic colouriser",
written by Radovan Garabik <garabik@melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk>
http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/grc.html
Since I'm hooked on nmh, I decided to use grc with it.
Here's a list of the files needed:
The latest version of these files can be found at:
http://users.anet.com/~mig/nmh-in-color/nmh-in-color.tar.gz
configs/
bashrc-entries Example alias entries for a ~/.bashrc file.
conf.flists grc config for flists command.
conf.inc grc config for inc command.
conf.mail grc config for show command.
conf.scan grc config for scan command.
grc.conf-entries sample entries for use in grc.conf
mh_profile-entries sample entries for use in ~/.mh_profile
mhl.body sample format file for MIME message body
mhl.format sample format file for show command
mhl.headers sample format file for MIME message headers
rxvt-resources rxvt settings from ~/.Xdefaults used for the
screenshots
scripts/
viewmail Script for viewing colorized e-mail.
vimail Script to call vim in mail-syntax mode.
------------
INSTALLATION
------------
Grab nmh-1.0.x.tar.gz, and grc_0.x.tar.gz from the websites above. Read the
documentation included with the packages and install them. Grc requires a
Python interpreter. I tested with grc_0.81 and Python-1.5.1.
Copy the conf.* files to /usr/share/grc/ or /usr/local/share/grc/, depending
on how grc was installed.
Copy viewmail and vimail somewhere in your path, like ~/bin/. Note vimail
does not use grc, but makes use of vim-5.x syntax-highlighting. You may have
to modify the path to the syntax description files given in the script to
match your system. If you only want to colorize email-viewing, or you don't
use vim to compose messages, don't install vimail.
Add the contents of bashrc-entries to your ~/.bashrc, and the contents of
mh_profile-entries to your ~/.mh_profile (look these over first, some of these
profile entries are just my personal preference). Also, add grc.conf-entries
to /etc/grc.conf.
I recommend the use of rxvt (http://www.rxvt.org). I've included the settings
from my .Xdefaults file in rxvt-resources (don't forget to do a xrdb -load
.Xdefaults after you put these in place).

COMMENTS
--------
The color-scheme I've used in the conf.* files is optimized for light text on
a dark background. Please feel free to make modifications.
Enjoy!
